Paul Jones should command the navy,
while he should have command OF our
army. He helped the United States much
In securing money and friends In France,
and to the day Of his death he considered
himself as much citizen Of his adopted
country as his own. We have park here
at Washington named after him. 1t Is
directly opposite the White House, and 1t is
filled with old trees and shady walks. 1t is
one OF the pleasantest resting places In the
Eesrt OF the Capital.
One OF the best paintings OF Lafayette is
that which hangs In the House OF Repre-
fentatives. 1t was painted by AIRY Shelter,
and the artist took q sketch for 1t OF La
fayette as he lay upon bis death-bed. lie
was aided also by sketch which Lafayette's
eldest daughter made at this time, and |
suppose by the plaster cast which was
made by the sculptor David.
The other day came across O tlme-worn
volume Of "Recollections Of Lafayette" by
Frenchman who was to him what Bos.
well was to johnson. The book has long
since been out of print. 1t was published
during the Presidency of Andrew jackson
and at about the time Of Lafayette's death.
The author describes Lafayette as being

In commenting upon Capt. Bunce's criticisms
relative TO the Atlanta a member OF the Naval
Advisory Board which designed that vessel said
to-day that, in his opinion, those criticisms were
chiefly directed. not against the Atlanta in par
tfcular, but against the type OF ship. Among
naval experts there is little difference OF opinion
as to the merits OF vessels which are built, as is
the Atlanta, with a central superstructure and
low board fore and aft; but as this Is the only
type preserving the full efficiency Of the land
aft re OF the heavy rifles 1t has the bulk Of ex-
pert testimony In It's favor, and nearly all naval
powers have built or building cruisers on that
plan. 1t would not be practicable, in the opinion
OF the particular member OF the advisory
board, to build up the Atlanta at the bow and
stern, for the reasons that the vessel was not de-
signed to bear the weight OF such superstructures
and that the battery IRE would be crippled. 1t
would be more satisfactory to build a new vessel
embody1ng Capt Bunce's idea than TO endeavOr TO
alter vessel OF another type. The other points
covered by Capt Bunce's criticism relate mainly
to small defects such the location OF electric

REPORT THAT MAY AFFECT TARIFF LEGIsLATTON
THIS SESSION.
The subcommittee Of the Senate finance COM
mittee, having under consideration the question of
differentiation, were in session nearly all day to
day considering their report They were in session
until nearly O'Clock yesterday. They have con-
siderable work before them, but will probably
have very comprehensive report ready soon after
the meeting OF Congress. Last spring and sum-
mer they took testimony at the great ports of
entry, which established, in their opinion,
the fact that there was q very great
undervaluation OF imports, and in
q general way they had arrived at a method for
the correction OF the evil This plan they are now
considering and putting into more mature form.
Mr.. Becks idea Is that the boards OF merchants
appra Sers, who have so much In common with che
importer, should be abolished and their places
taken by regular Government appraisers. The
irregularity OF appraiSemehJ, varying at the sew
eral ports, suggested the idea OF having a store
house, say at New York, where the appraise-
ments should be fixed for the guidance
OF the appraisers at all the ports.
The question Is one OF great importance
and Will enter largely into the tariff discussion
this winter Tue Senate will probably not wait
for the House TO act, as Is customary in matters
relating TO the revenues but will proceed with the
matter when reported by the committee, and IL
may be attached to a tariff bill should one come
over from the House, or 1t may stand as an indie
pendent proposition.

In the case OF the complaint of E B. Raymond

purpose Of taking action in regard to the question
OF the location In the city Of the steam railroads
Dr.. s. A. H. McKim presided, and the recommenda-
ttons Of the subcommittee OF the citizens repre-
sentative committee In regard to the routes pro-
posed for bringing the railroads in the city were
read. Col suit, one OF the delegates, said that he
had endeavored to have adopted the plan proposed
by the association, OF bringing the railroad into
the city along the Eastern Branch, and had united
with the committee in recommending 5th street
rather than I'd street as an alternative route.
There was some discussion and a motion was
adopted tnstructing the delegates to the repre-
sentative committee to oppose the 5th-street
route, and to vote for the Eastern Branch route.
w. c. Dodge, of the Northeast Association. who
was present, on being asked TO make statement
OF the action taken by his association said that
they had favored the outside route. but If that
could not be secured would favor the one down
11th street rather than the 5th-street route. The
association then adjourned. Members OF the asso-
citation said they would take no action regarding
the union depot, but support any plan that was
favored In South washington.
